I love meat but I wouldn't be able to stomach the menu...ERK!...as I said to the Newsgroup when I shared the link over there, "I'd rather eat pink sugar cakes and apricot brandy!"
@ FoolishGirl: Love it!
All of these great food ideas...now all I have to do is actually read the books! 
C'mon GRRM, please get the series done so I can get stuck into it... 
Starting to feel homesick here so heading back to the RotE threads!

These beings think more in the area of "why not both?" Mind you, they prefer eyeballs and such only if they are eating the whole animal, not as a small dish.
RE: A song of Ice and fire discussion - fool-ish - Feb-24-2012
Eyeballs! There really is no need to eat eyeballs! Too gross!
RE: A song of Ice and fire discussion - 'thul - Feb-24-2012
These beings doubt there is all that much useful nourishment in eyeballs, but they could be wrong.

Neat!
They had a bunch of Food Trucks around NYC and LA when Season 1 was being premiered... selling (or giving out) Game of Thrones "fare." I wished I had been closer to one of those cities.

Seriously!? I think Martin is more skilled with words when describing food than any other Author I've read. And most of the food he describes sounds SO delicious!
I had a completely different experience than you during those scenes, I suppose. 
RE: A song of Ice and fire discussion - fool-ish - Feb-24-2012
Oh he's skilled at writing about it alright, it's the menus themselves that make me gip! They offend my sensibilities!
RE: A song of Ice and fire discussion - FoolishGirl - Feb-25-2012
Has this ASoIaF food site been mentioned here?

Lovely photography.

I've never heard of half the ingredients in that drink! What on earth is 'Sack?'
RE: A song of Ice and fire discussion - Farseer - Feb-25-2012
Yes, great photography, FoolishGirl! I loved the Valentine's Day ones best!

Apparently, sack is a strong, dry, sweet, light-colored wine of the sherry family.

Interesting to note that many recipes have "gone missing" off the site, as they will be included in an official GoT cookbook due out in May. I know what my sister is getting for Christmas this year!
